Shirreffs (6'5/216) was unable to win the starting job over Malik Rosier last summer and after a season on the bench -- outside of a few brief spots of playing time -- he announced his transfer intentions in January. At Charlotte, he'll be competing with incumbent Hasaan Klugh for starting honors. That shouldn't be an insurmountable hurdle for the former three-star recruit, as Klugh offers a fair bit of juice as a runner (532 rushing yards in 2017) but almost nothing as a passer. He completed just 47.7% of his passes and owned a dreadful 10/13 TD/INT ratio for the most recent campaign. Mar 28 - 12:38 PM

Shirreffs (6'5/216) announced his intention to transfer in mid-January. He's currently being barred from hooking up with other ACC schools, as well as Florida, LSU, FIU, Toledo and Central Michigan (non-conference programs on Miami's 2018 and 2019 schedules). Just where the Hurricanes backup gunslinger might be eyeing as a potential landing spot is currently unknown. We should be receiving clarity on Shirreffs' appeal in the relatively near future, as it will be heard by a non-athletic committee next week. Feb 2 - 2:36 PM

Props to Shirreffs on the academic side, as he will be moving on having graduated in just three years. This means he will be eligible to play immediately with his program-to-be come the start of the 2018 season. He'll have two years remaining to his name, to boot. Shirreffs was unable to beat out Malik Rosier for starting honors this past offseason and finished the 2017 campaign having attempted just seven passes. The 6-foot-5, 216-pounder was a three-star recruit coming out of high school in the winter of 2015. The offshoot of all this is that the Miami quarterback competition this spring and summer will likely boil down to returning starter Malik Rosier and much-heralded dual-threat N'Kosi Perry, who is entering his second year in the program.

The Hurricanes announced Malik Rosier as their starting quarterback on Tuesday. Shirreffs is currently ahead of true freshman N’Kosi Perry and Cade Weldon on the depth chart. Tue, Aug 22, 2017 02:37:00 PM
